I concur with KJ6Y. Decades ago I used Hy-Gain rotators that needed frequent
servicing and I used a come along to lift the mast. It was simple and
effective.

Chuckle! Got on the air two months short of 70 years ago and there was

changed. We haven't.
Now, how about telling me an easy way to lift a mast with a TH7DX and
A3WS on it up and out of a T2X rotator enough so I can yank the rotator
(broken tooth?) out. Would like to do it straight up and yes could tilt
the tower (HG-70HD) over but still leaves the rotator problem (1/2 boom
length of the TH7DX leaves the tower still way up with same problem).
Want to avoid having to drop the antenna.
